500 plus

[Tiffany2015 26]

Are there any people here with a pre-op weight of 500+?? I was never one to mention weight in numbers but i guess what the heck? Everybody here has been in the same shoes so to speak. I haven't seen anyone with a high bmi so was just wondering. No one not even my mom knows my actual current weight. I figure they will freak out by hearing the actual number. ????lol well thats why i'm going through wls, to be a healthier better me. ????

Thats good to hear! I was feeling like an odd one out of sorts. So how has your pre-op process going?

I think I have completed most everything and waiting on a surgery date.

After the surgery when I was walking the floors they had several before and after pictures on the walls. I asked the nurse what the heaviest person that their hospital ever performed weight loss surgery on. She said 600 pounds.

Count me as a member of the 500+ Club.

I'm still pretty early in the process, but I already know who will be my surgeon and what procedure I'm going to have (sleeve).

I'm somewhat nervous, but very optimistic as well.

Watching the series "My 600 Pound Life" was sobering and enlightening.
